When it comes to Greek yogurt, we may think that the authentic version is made of cow's milk and is strained of its own liquid to reach the perfect creamy consistency. But this isn't actually true. Real Greek yogurt, the kind made not in factories but in villages, has never been strained and probably never will be. Here, yogurt is made with full-fat sheep's milk. This rich milk, together with a combination of time and temperatures, is going to give us a yogurt that is already tart and creamy in its own pot, without the need to be strained at all. We visited Antonis Nikolopoulos at his dairy in Flokas, Greece, to learn how he makes yogurt from his sheep herd.

@lyravain6304 2 года назад

The liquid is very, very nutritious! It is full of proteins but also, due to how Greek yoghurt is produced (avoiding extreme temperatures and UHT milk for instance), there's a lot of gut bacteria in it that helps with digestion and provide a lot of nutrients for your body. It is easily absorbed and utilized by the gut so even people with intestinal issues can have it (unless, of course, they have acid reflux issues in their stomach or lactose intolerance). Same thing for the liquid produced from any kind of cheese (such as anthotyros or myzithra). Those of us who live close to a cheesemaker often drop by and request just that liquid, still warm from production! The reason it gets strained, I think, is because this liquid makes using it in some recipes a lot more annoying. Can't make tzatziki when it is that watery, for instance. And some people don't appreciate the sour taste that comes from the yeast (even though it's, in my opinion, proof of quality).

@MrDrivingFaster 2 года назад

There is a broad variety of yogurts in Greece that differ in the process and type of milk used. People know of the strained Greek yoghurt that has the most Keto profile and minimal lactose of cow milk yoghurts. But goat milk yogurt has no lactose at all and because it is grass fed, it is rich in vitamins. When travelling to Greece, walk into a supermarket and browse the Yogurt section. Try all types!

@Panos-xo9rc Год назад

Here how it goes: Goat milk is too lean for a "proper" unstrained,it gives no "bite". Mixed in small percentage(no more than 10%)with sheep milk it is OK. The one true unstrained yoghurt is 100% sheep milk. Cow is for strained only.

Actually, there are strands of cultural continuity from the Greeks of antiquity to Greeks of modern day. Language and religion, and even some traditions. The Albanians at that time were never a significant minority. There are elements of Ancient Greek traditions in orthodoxy even. The term “Romans” was used among Greek speaking people who converted to Christianity because of the force the Roman Empire was putting on them. Hellene was still used among those who were pagan. It’s not worth it to even mention “Macedonians”. Their identity wasn’t created until the 40s officially.

@MichailDimDrakomathioulakis 2 года назад

In Crete, the biggest island of Greece, yogurt is mainly produced by sheep and/or goat milk, as seen in this video. However, it is also very common to have strained yogurt (called “stragistó” or “surotó”) made out again of sheep and/or goat milk. I have the impression that cow milk was traditionally used for making yogurt in the northern regions of Greece, such as Macedonia, where there are larger fields and thus cattle breeding, but its use for yogurt making was generalised with the industralisation of the country, especially after WW II.
